allielee 263 Posted February 7, 2010 hey karey, no I had to go to the hospital o.r. to worried about bleeding out. I was awake but loopy they took it not sure how but wowza it feels better. I still have some pain but am definitely on my way to getting better. I am off the pain meds and have been ever since I got some new meds. I am much more positive too, I was really just so miserable with all that was going on physically with me. It was overwhelming. There were just to many areas that were hurting lol. Thanks for all your support I really appreciate it xoxo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I totally understand what you are going through and I'm glad you're coming out on the other side. It should get better from here on out. Just remind yourself that this situation is only temporary and your new body is here to stay! Glad you're doing better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allielee 263 Posted February 8, 2010 Hey there.. well, I had to go back to the doc today. Downtown is still hurting. Now they say I have dermatitis due to all the stress from the surgery, my immune and lymphatic system going crazy so they changed to straight steroid lotion. I am getting more and more frustrated. I just hope this time it works and within a couple of days I am cured. I really can't take much more. I am trying to stay positive and happy and wow I am struggling. I took another pain pill last night just so I wouldn't itch. I know it could always be worse so I am hoping for the best. Other than that I am doing great lol My unemployment ran out this week but I am getting an extension which was a nice surprise. Have a great day everyone!

allielee 263 Posted February 16, 2010 Hi everyone!!!! I have great news... Downtown is now open for business lol. I am back to normal finally! I am feeling soooo great. Ok so an update on what's been happening.. My wedding ring set had gotten so big on me even with the guard hubby said time to get it resized. We went and my set was a size 9 ( back years ago I had to have it stretched to accomodate my sausage fingers ) well they measured me and my finger is now a 5 -1/2! What a huge difference. It was such a great difference they said that I needed to get a brand new set. we went to two different jewelers and they both said the same thing. So here I am with no rings.. :biggrin: They are supposed to be ready on the 23rd. The reason I told you this was to explain why the following happened.. lol So last night was the first time I went to the gym since my surgery's.. it was so great an hour and a half of treadmill and bike.. low impact and it was great to just get some excercize. But as I was on the treadmill two different guys came over and hit on me. It's so weird to have that happen especially twice! I feel so great about how I look. I am so pleased with my results. My thighs still swell every evening but I know that will go away soon. I haven't gained any weight thank god.. I hear that happens alot after ps. I am super tight and like it that way. I do want to tone everything up though.. Summer is right around the corner :thumbup: My 40th birthday is the 26th and we are having a huge bash on the 27th.. so excited. I am still looking for that perfect dress and in the process have bought 8 new dresses. I'm not sure if any of them are the one so I keep looking lol. I figure the more choices I have the better. I love love shopping now. All the dresses are 8 or 10.. I struggle since my boobs are so big that I need a bigger dress to get them over the boobs but my waist is so small .. I might have to get something altered to get the perfect look. I will have hubby take pics and post them on here of my dresses :tongue: you girls can help me pic the perfect one!

I loved the story about you getting hit on twice at the gym, what a moral booster. Glad to hear downtown is open for business and your thighs aren't swelling til the evening.

kimwash71112 0 Posted February 19, 2010 I feel bad. I read your earliest post, I didn't realize what all you had been thru! Bless your heart! I just got banded on Tuesday. I was wondering if it would be worth all of that to have everything lifted? Hope you are feeling better soon!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allielee 263 Posted March 25, 2010 Hello! It has been awhile, I am doing pretty good. I hadn't gotten on a scale in a while and I did about a week ago and bam I had gained 6 pounds!!! Argh just when I think I don't have to worry about my weight anymore. So I realized that I needed to step up my game once again. I started doing lap swimming which has been awesome!! I love it and it doesn't feel like hard excercize. I was building to much muscle with the elliptical the front of my thighs were starting to bulge eek. So I think swimming will help to lean me out. I have a submarine ball to go to on april 10 and my dress is super form fitting. I love it but am hoping I will be a little leaner in it lol. I am actively looking for a job.. starting to get super bored. We still haven't sold our house ugh. Still hoping it will go soon. Other than that same stuff different day.. I hope you are all doing well. xoxo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
